Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm Reviews

When I just saw these, I thought it was a great idea, and the colour range was not too bad, so I prepared to fall in love...
I got two of them, one in "Forbidden" and the other one - I can't remember the name, because it dried out and went into trash almost immediately after I purchased it...
First of all, not true to colour. But even that wouldn't be that much of a problem for me if I could just...read more get to use them for more than a week... One of them dried out in about a week, and the other one lasted not more than three weeks in total, before it started sort of flaking off these darkly pigmented pieces of whatever it is made out off... And the more you press (you obviously have to press because they are so dry) the more of that weird stuff you get on your lips - it's just unpleasant in every way imaginable...
Basically it feels like you are trying to colour your lips with a really sharp, dry permanent marker - that's the best way I can describe it. And not only you don't like the colour (when you do manage to get something out of it), but it goes on patchy, which makes your lips look terrible either way...
If this didn't dry out so quickly, the only sensible way of wearing it would be to apply as much as possible of the balm (on the opposite side of the dry marker), then dab a bit of that "ink" onto your lips and try to spread it over your lips as much and as quickly as you can...
And by the way, the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars, is because I actually liked the balm side of this product... I don't know what it's made out of, but I found it very moisturising on my lips... Still, half an inch of lip moisturiser isn't worth the money that these Lipstains cost...
And no, I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone.— 1 year, 3 months ago

I tried the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain and wish I had saved the money. The color you think you are buying is not the color on your lips. Now getting it on your lips is difficult as well. The tip didn't dispense the product evenly and once I did get enough on, it was gone in 20 minutes. These also dried my lips out terribly! I don't want to ever be "bitten" again.

It comes in a dual-ended stick, and I picked up the shade, Forbidden. It looks brown and plum color outside, but when I apply, it looks a bit more reddish on my lips, which I actually don't mind. I don't like the lip stain applicator. It does not go on smoothly and evenly. I end up using my finger tip. Also, the color does not stay for a long time. When I eat or drink, it disappear even faster. I ...read morethought a balm on the end of the stick would make the color stay longer or something, but it does not do anything special. Completely meaningless. The only thing I like about this lip stain is the pretty color. But overall, I rather use a good tinted lip balm.

This is kind of pricey for what it is but the product is designed really well so I caved in. The lip stain itself goes on easily and is kind of fun to apply. I felt like a little kid trying to color in the lines. It is very pigmented at first but my lips quickly absorbed this formula and it wound up looking blotchy. I layered the color on quite a few times and then finally topped it with the balm....read more It is unscented & unflavored and was a great relief for my lips because the stain is drying. The color did not last long on my lips and faded from the middle of them without much talking, drinking or kissing. The lasting power of this stain is worse than lots of lipsticks I own. Very overpriced and would not repurchase this! My lipsticks from Make Up For Ever have the best lasting power ever-- even better than all the stains I have tried. I am saving my money for that from now on!!— 1 year, 10 months ago

Obviously, the new Just Bitten lip color is better than the old. It just has the same name. I have tried Clinique's Chubby Stick in a few colors and I love it but I don't really care for the price Revlon's price is a lot better but it works fairly similarly. No sharpener is needed because the color just swivels up to give you more product, which I think is very convenient and I like the fact that ...read moreI don't have to worry about wood shavings on my lips. The color CRUSH looks like it would be nice on many people and I like the look of crushed berries on my mouth. I wouldn't say it's very moisturizing though and I think you should wear a lip balm underneath to make it feel that way Overall, it's a fair lip product for a decent price that is very convenient— 1 year, 10 months ago

Of course, the packaging lies about what the exact color turnout is, but then again, we don't all have the exact same color on lips naturally. Still, this lipstain is a WIN. Such an awesome taste and color! I got Frenzy, which applied a real pretty classic red, then toned down into a nice berry.The marker dispenser needs improving, though. I have found the best way to apply is simply follow the di...read morerections we're given: start with clean, exfoliated lips still patted dry, apply lipstain with the flat side, then count to 100 before applying balm. Tadaa!— 1 year, 10 months ago

I really love this lipstain because it comes in bright colors that add a perfect tint to your skin. The lipstain goes on easy and the pen coats every part of your lips. It lasts all day and doesn't smudge or rub off.

I have found this lip stain to be pretty good, once you can find a color that works for you. As with all of the drug store felt tip marker types of lip stains, the colors are very different on than they appear on the outside of the product. This product lasted on my lips better than any other from the drugstore and the lip balm is really nice. Mine has not had the lip balm end break off as of y...read moreet (had it about a week). They need to work on the colors and the lasting ability since it still doesn't last as long as it should.— 1 year, 10 months ago
